Unhappy

Yellow Clown Goby won't eat.


I am going on almost a week and the little guy won't eat. Before he was eating anything I dumped in the tank but now he won't touch anything. He is getting really skinny and I am afraid I am going to lose him.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear about your goby, and I don't have any suggestions - but I sure do wish I had that mushroom! Wow, it looks fantastic!

I came home today and he was stuck to the intake on the aquapod.

My son insisted we have a funeral and we did in fact bury the fish because my son did not think it was right to flush him.
